Date, place and cause of death - Not found yet!!

This lady has proved to be a bit of a mystery to me. She had my grandad, Albert Stevenson Allinson on 5/10/1888 in New Houses, Beal, Yorkshire. No father was named on the birth certificate or his marriage certificate.

His brother John Stephenson Allinson, was born on 26/8/1886 in Whitley, Yorkshire. Also no father named on his birth certificate, but on his marriage certificate 1/9/1912 in Altofts, Yorkshire his father was named as John Stephenson, Soldier, deceased. Not sure if this was his true father or just someone they made up!

I never have found the death of Elizabeth Wood (nee Allinson). I know that her son John joined the Australian Army (found all his service records online) and made his home in Australia and wondered if he took his mum overseas with him? He also appears to have had 2 wives in different countries, but that's another story:confused:

Any help on the death of this lady, my great grandmother would be gratefully appreciated.

Just wanted to add to the above thread. I have lots of information on John Stephenson Allinson (just google his name!) so please don't waste too much time looking for him!!

[kiterunner]

Which Australian state did John live in, and do you know when he emigrated, and have you found him on any Australian electoral rolls? That might help us to look and see whether his mother emigrated with him.

He was in Victoria from 1919 to 1936 (died there in 1936), but can't find an Elizabeth Wood in the same place. Wish it was a less common name, then I might have more luck. Then again, she could have even remarried!

Someone on another site sent me on a wild goose chase for a while. Told me that her husband George Wood had remarried in 1911 in Bridlington, Yorkshire. After patiently waiting for the census to be release, that was a completely different George Wood:mad:

There is a likely birth registration for Elizabeth first quarter of 1862, district Ecclesall Bierlow. Although you probably have seen that already?

[West Yorkshire Maggy]

Yes that's the one, I have her birth certificate already. Sorry didn't enter it. She was born 23/1/1862 in Ecclesall Bierlow, Sheffield.

Hi Maggy

I have Allisons from Eccleshall Bierlow in my tree (without the "N")

Just wondered whether there could be any connection - or do all yours have an "N" in ?

Hi Joan, they do all have the "n", but it's forever being left out by mistake. I know because it was my maiden name and I was forever correcting people.
Would be nice if your Allison's were connected, but not sure:confused:

Well I was hoping this thread would solve one of my family tree mysteries. I would love to know where this lady died.

Did she die in Yorkshire, Australia or somewhere else? :confused:

Maybe I'll never find out;( This family tree lark is soooo frustrating (that's why we love it so much!!) :rolleyes:
